MNTRA Instruments Atma

Sacred Sounds Suite.

Atma is our collection of sacred sound instruments obtained by our award-winning founder & composer, Brian D’Oliveira, during his many pilgrimages to holy sites around the world.

The Story of Atma

Ranging from ritual healing bells to pitched Aztec volcanic rocks, we creatively sampled these special instruments to explore the potential of our powerful nonlinear sound-design engine MNDALA 2. By capturing the rich textures of these ancient instruments with our leading-edge ultrasonic sampling process, we allow you to explore their complex harmonics with a depth and clarity that was previously impossible.Our team of expert sound designers have crafted a diverse array of presets that span arpeggiated bell clusters, evolving atmospheric pads, cinematic percussion, and much more, allowing for immediate inspiration right out of the box. Additionally, just under the hood of our intuitive interface, lies the potential to sculpt the sound into whatever you imagine and beyond. Whether you’re creating ambient soundscapes, pulsing electronica, avant-garde explorations, or massive cinematic swells, we guarantee Atma will become an indispensable instrument in your toolkit.Atma is a sonic gateway into new dimensions of sounds that have been left unexplored until now. Our interactive animated performance interface has been carefully crafted to enhance the exploration of these new sonic realms. Featuring a crystalline ocean and an emerging ephemeral being, opening a gateway into these new dimensions.

Our approach to creating revolutionary instruments

Continuous play and the pushing of creative boundaries are foundational to our instrument creation process. Rather than trying to recreate true-to-life instruments, we choose to experiment and go off the beaten track, in search of a new kind of virtual instrument.

Inspired by the natural world and ancient knowledge from around the world, we embrace expressive (im)perfections. Performing and recording instruments using experimental methods to create sounds like you’ve never heard before.

From our bespoke extreme-quality recording method using ultrasonics, to our constant experimentation with unique workflows and sound sources, each Instrument we release is a playable manifestation of our exploratory journey.

During our sampling process, the subtleties and imperfections of live human performance are embraced and encouraged. Depending on the final intent, we will creatively post-process as little or as much as needed (sometimes beyond recognition), always making sure that the soul and character of the performance is intact once it’s been implemented as one of our expressive playable instruments.
